Question:

How can I get rid of the mold growing around the bathtub area, on the silicone caulking between the tub and tile wall.

Answer:

Mould, like all living things, has three pre-requisites for life; oxygen, heat and moisture. Get rid of any one of these and mould dies; re-introudce it and mould comes back to life. The easiest one to get rid of is the moisture and a good, 110 CFM exhaust fan will do that.
